Players is one of the oldest community theatre companies in the St.
Louis area. It produces three plays each year at the Florissant
Civic
Center Theatre. The annual Duckie DeMere Scholarships, named after the late veteran Hawthorne actress and director, have been presented since 1992. Sixty-nine North County students have received grants totaling $37,800. Announcement and presentation of these scholarships is made at the annual Best of Hawthorne revue in May. The purpose of these grants is to: 1) further community arts in general, 2) encourage high school students to become involved in community theatre and 3) increase youth involvement in Hawthorne Players. Applicants should have demonstrated talent, interest and effort in the performing arts, especially in the community. Participation in Hawthorne Players and other community theatre productions will be considered. For information write to hawthorneplayers@earthlink.net |
